Review: GIULIO CESARE, The Grange Festival

A new version of Handel's 1724 opera Giulio Cesare is always an exciting prospect. The love story between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, with the backdrop of war with Egypt, political ambition and domestic unrest is ripe for reinterpretation. Indeed, Handel and his librettist the librettist Nicola Francesco Haym, wrote the opera as a tragi-comedy, but David Alden's new production at The Grange Festival piles on the slapstick to such a extent that it undermines some of the excellent vocals in display.

Review: LA BOHÈME, Glyndebourne

PucciniAs the nights draw in, it seems highly appropriate to return to Glyndebourne for the start of its Autumn season and the chilly streets of Puccini’s La bohème. Floris Visser’s production, beautifully revived by Rachael Hewer, has the spectre of death ever-present. In this case, quite literally as a pale man dressed in black (Christopher Lemmings) appears to stalk Mimì, making her fate even more inevitable than usual.
